Reincarnation of Villainess Noble Lady (Ch. 143-299)

REIKA-SAMA -258

"What's wrong, Yukino-kun. Did something happen?" I ask, as I stroke his soft hair.

He raises his head and answers, "Nothing. I just wanted to see Reika-onee-san… Was I a bother…?"

"Oh! I would never think that about Yukino-kun! Were you waiting for me here the entire time?" He nodded. If I knew that my adorable Yukino-kun was waiting, I would have ditched Kaburagi and ran here! "I'm sorry. You must have waited a long time for me. You could have contacted me…"

"No, I just waited, wanting to see Reika-onee-san." How lovable! A child can act spoiled if he wanted to! I want Kaburagi to look up to how considerate he is.

"So you didn't have any pressing reason to see me?"

"No." That's a relief. If a child was waiting by himself, I'd think that something was troubling him.

"Yukino-kun, where is your brother? Is he not with you?"

"I don't know… He's probably seeing somebody," he pouted. Oooh? Is he sulking because his brother's left him behind to do something? Well, he's still young. I was lonely at his age when Onii-sama was late coming home. And I was emotionally an adult, and Onii-sama spoiled me when he got home, so I didn't sulk. So they had a fight(?)

"Should I take you home?" He doesn't move gripping my uniform. Hmm… I guess he doesn't want to. What should I do… I don't have cram school today, and I can arrange for my tutor to see me on another day… "Is there anywhere you want to go?"

"Go…" He starts to think. We just went to the aquarium like he wanted. He wouldn't be interested in shopping or spending time in a café. Somewhere to relax and play…? I think about the state of my room. There shouldn't be clothes or diet gear left around….

"Would you like to come to my home until your family comes to pick you up?"

"Really!?"

Yukino-kun didn't want to go home while sulking about Enjou, so he could be picked up in a few hours. "But only if you get your family's permission."

"Yay!" His face brightened. I don't have a pet, there's not much to do at home… I should contact the maid to clean my room just in case.

"Let's contact your parents or your brother if it's all right for you to come over."

"Yes, I'll mail my nii-sama." He started to punch the screen on his phone. So it's all right to contact Enjou even during a fight (?) I contact my tutor and the maid. "I told him, 'I'm going to Reika-onee-san's home.'" So he's not asking, but declaring that he's going. "I'm so looking forward to being at Reika-onee-san's home."

"Don't expect too much. It isn't much." Where did I put all the games…?

We were about to enter the car when Yukino-kun's phone rang. "Oh, it's Nii-sama." He got on, "Yes, yes, that's right… He says he wants to talk to you," handing me the phone. Enjou…

"Hello, I'm on."

"Kisshouin-san? It's Enjou. Yukino's saying that he's going to your house?"

"Yes, that's right. That's if he can get permission."

"Wouldn't it be imposing to have him there?"

"No, we're fine. My parents should be out today, so I'll be the only one home."

"Really?"

"Yes, but is it all right to have Yukino-kun here without a guardian? Will your parents permit that?"

"Don't worry. I'll contact them. Sorry. I'll come pick him up early, so can you watch him until then? Sorry for Yukino causing problems like this…" No, no. Compared to your best friend, Yukino-kun doesn't even count as a problem. And then, I heard a woman ask, 'Shuu?' on the other side. He must have put his hand over the phone. I could hear a muffled "Wait," on the other end. "Truly sorry. If Yukino acts up, feel free to scold him. Could you put him on again?"
